Therefore, I employ a novel dataset of NDR meetings to examine the relationship between NDR activity and the underpricing of seasoned equity offerings (SEOs) and show that NDR activity is associated with a reduction in SEO underpricing. This relationship is strengthened in firms with infrequent NDR activity, smaller firms, firms with greater analyst forecast errors, and in firms whose SEO underwriter was not the sponsor of their NDR meeting(s). The findings suggest that NDRs reduce the level of asymmetric information between firms and investors, resulting in a lower cost of raising new equity.

Indeed, crossing that institutional border and assuming we detect a 10 % higher inefficiency, we expect to observe a lower financial debt ratio (-0.03) and a lower trade credit ratio (-0.06), as well as a higher shareholders’ loan ratio (+0.08) and lower investments in tangible fixed assets (-2733 TEUR).

In this paper, we explore empirically the possibility that markets price <em>differently</em> the risk profile of bank issuers along the empirical distribution of security prices. The paper uses a quantile regression framework to draw novel inferences about the functioning of debt market discipline and the quality of private monitoring in European banking during a severe financial turmoil episode: 1995--2002. This period is characterized by large swings in yields due to the Russian default and LTCM crisis, the burst of the dot-com bubble, and Enron’s failure. We find that the yield spread-risk relationship is systematically <em>steeper</em> at the “right-tail” of the conditional distribution of the credit spread. This result suggests that the market is somewhat “tougher” with riskier banks; that is, riskier bank issuers borrow at higher interest rates, which are increasing in their degree of riskiness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47522,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 106223"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Is diversity in banking crucial for financial development and entrepreneurship? Does the link between financial development and entrepreneurship suffer from inefficiency of judicial system? We employ a worldwide heterogeneous unbalanced sample consisting of 60 countries (developed and developing) from 2006 to 2021, considering information about two key types of financial intermediaries: commercial and cooperative. Based on two distinct estimators (FEGLS and FEIVH), the empirical evidence confirms the critical role of financial intermediaries in fostering entrepreneurship, with commercial bank branches having a higher intensity. Furthermore, the inefficiency of the judicial system is found to be a crucial factor in mitigating the link under scrutiny. In other words, in a country with a dysfunctional judicial system, the financial system limits loan grants for general investments, resulting in a decrease in entrepreneurship. To put it another way, financial development helps to foster the establishment of new businesses in countries with more efficient judicial systems. A battery of sensitivity analyses back up our empirical predictions, shedding light on the importance of policy implications that may be implemented to ensure the evolution of the entrepreneurial fabric while also fueling a heated debate over the vital role of both financial and judicial systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47522,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 106219"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
